I was so glad to be at LI-DOG's 3rd Annual Pints-n-Paws Luau at Off Key Tikki in Patchogue for the 3rd year in a row. LI-DOG is an organization that helps to get more access for dogs to Long Island's beaches and parks. Every year I have so much fun at this event. The restaurant is right on the water and the decor is beautiful. It feels like a tropical paradise. Then you add dozens of adorable dogs, and it is truly an amazing experience. There's also contests, music, raffles and free food from the grill. Everyone says that Memorial Day is the unofficial start of the summer, but the Pints-n-Paws Luau is when summer really begins for me. I also donated a basket to their raffle with a free session and a print credit, so I look forward to shooting that some day soon!​Here are the photos from the event!(Click to see larger and use arrows to scroll through).
